HILTON Worldwide this week announced that it will open in 2018 a third Waldorf Astoria on Indonesian soil, again on the Island of Gods.
Owned by Sharandy Land, the 100-key Waldorf Astoria Bali, Ubud will be the fourth Waldorf Astoria property in South-east Asia following the planned openings in Bangkok, Bukit-Pandawa Bali in 2017 and Jakarta in 2018.
Situated along the Ayung River in the Balinese village of Sayan, the resort is 5km away from central Ubud and 31.4km from the island’s international airport.
The resort spans 8ha, accommodating 100 luxe suites and villas built on the slopes of a terraced rice paddy for views of its surroundings and river. Villas will come in one- to five-room configurations, all with a private pool each.
Dining experiences at the resort come in the form of two restaurants and a destination bar, while event facilities include three meetings and event rooms, a wedding chapel, an outdoor event lawn and a business centre.
An outdoor pool and a health club and spa will also be available for guests’ use.
